 there, lying in a cavity of the beam between the beam and the plaisterplaster [sic]; Taylor first saw it, gave it witness, and he immediately handed it to Clay; two pieces of pasteboard were found, and given in like manner to Clay: in the granary were found two tubs and pulp, and by the side of the tubs a sheet of wire with pulp upon it; there was no way (except a man got in at the window) into this granary, but thorough the lumber room; the hog was also found, as were alum and calves-ears, but they were not taken away until the 17th; he fastened the door by driving the staple in again which they had forced out to get into the room; Chillingworth, on the 17th, gave him a key with which he opened the door—the lock was a very good one, the key large; they found one copper frame and two wooden ones: the hog' and other articles were produced, and were identified by witness.

John Ingeley proved, as before, the notice given by Dorothy Ingeley that the officers were coming, the conduct of the prisoner thereon, his directing the trunk and other articles to be planted, and that Scot had often the key of the lumber room.

Joseph Chillingworth proved his going to assist in search at Booth's, his conversation with Booth while on the ladder, his getting in at the garret window, and the various articles found in the house, and the manner in which they were found, in the same way in which he proved them on the former trial: he said Scot was not in the house when the search was made, at least he did not see him, but he came in about eight o'clock at night, apparently as if come from work in the fields; witness took him into custody, and found the key of the lumber room door in his jacket pocket; Mr. Linwood had left that door locked; witness tried the key—it unlocked the lock of that door, and he again locked it with the key—he did not go into the room: witness asked Scot what his name was—he would not tell what it was; witness again asked him—he refused to say; then asked what he was—prisoner said he was steward
